Agree

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

This answer aligns with UKIP's broader concerns about immigration's impact on the labor market and wages. They might agree that companies are exploiting the visa program to lower wages, although their preferred solution would likely involve reducing immigration more broadly rather than focusing solely on corporate practices.

Disagree

I am satisfied with the current amount

Given UKIP's strong views on reducing immigration, maintaining the current amount of temporary work visas might not align perfectly with their policies. They would likely prefer a decrease rather than maintaining the status quo.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Historically, UKIP has been known for its strong stance on reducing immigration, arguing that it puts pressure on public services and affects job opportunities for British citizens. Increasing the amount of temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers would likely be contrary to their general policy direction.

Very strongly disagree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

This statement is fundamentally opposed to UKIP's stance on immigration and labor. UKIP has argued that reliance on foreign workers, even in high-skilled positions, can undermine the wages and job opportunities of British citizens. They would likely strongly disagree with the notion of relying on businesses hiring high-skilled workers at the lowest cost if it involves increasing immigration.
